The germs which cause hog cholera chol-era pay no attention to economic conditions. They will kill bogs during a depression Just as quickly as dnrlng more prosperous times, says a writer In Hoard's Dairyman. Dairy-man. Before hog cholera serum and virus were available for protecting pigs against this disease, one could, In the fall of the year, count the farms In a given community on which the disease was raging, by the smoke from fires burning dead hogs. Farmers ' were helpless. They might Just as well have tried to stop a cyclone. The discovery of hog cholera serum virus made it possible to stop most, If not all, of this enormous loss. .The preventive pre-ventive treatment is no good in a bottle; It must be properly Injected Inject-ed Into the animals for whose benefit bene-fit It was made available. The important question for each" swine producer, who has not already al-ready immunized his pigs, to decide Is whether he can afford to take the risk of losing his hogs. In these times, notwithstanding the price of pork, farmers can 111 afford af-ford to lose their hogs after they are nearly ready for market Farmers Farm-ers should keep close watch of their hogs. All farmers in a given neighborhood should know Immediately Imme-diately when and if there Is an outbreak out-break of cholera In the neighborhood. Grass Land Made More Valuable by Fertilizer A book by Sir Frederick- Kteble, director of research for the Imperial Im-perial Chemical Industries Ltd., gives some of the remarkable results re-sults obtained by the application of fertilizers to pastures. English farmers are endeavoring to improve their luxuriant pastures by getting earlier and more continuous growth. Results of 492 trials made In England are reviewed by Sir Frederick. On 91 per cent of the farmsthe grass was ready from 14 to 28 days earller on plots treated with nltrochalk at the rate of 145 pounds to the acre. It Is pointed out that there Is a considerable gain when live stock can be turned out a fortnight earlier and the cost of , expensive concentrated feeds saved. It Is shown by charts that while grass land Is under present conditions condi-tions the Inferior of arable land as a producer of food, It Is possl ble by supplying nitrogen and min eral food to more than double the quantities of crude protein, nearly treble the digestible protein, and about a third more total food measured meas-ured as starch, than are contained In the oat crop, In New Zealand there are already 8,000 farmers-expert farmers-expert graziers all of them who are applying nitrogen and phos-phatic phos-phatic fertilizers to their grass land." . Soybeans for Hay If you are going to be short of hay, seed soybeans broadcast and cultivate them with a harrow or rotary hoe until they get a good start and ahead of the weeds. The soybeans will yield a heavy tonnage ton-nage of high-quality feed. Just about equal to alfalfa In feeding value. With seed cheaper this year than ever before, a small field of beans will not be a heavy investment invest-ment and the return will be as great as from any crop' on the farm. The soys should be put In about corn-planting time, but If necessary can wait until the corn Is out of the way. Soybean hay will stand a lot of abuse at harvest time, and though It stands In cocks for a long time, will come out all right so far as feeding value la "concerned. Prairie Farmer. Hay Cures by Burning Curing hay in sweat stacks by letting it heat Is really burning part of the bay to make heat to dry the rest, the United Statea De partment of Agriculture says. ' When the bay heats In the sweat stacks a type of combustion takes place, although there is no actual flame. This method, used where there Is so much rainfall there is little chance to sun-cure the hay, produces what Is known as "brown hsy." Although it may be relished by live stock, bay cured this way is Inferior to properly made sun- cured hay, as the heating produces a degree of deterioration, the department de-partment aays. OPEN SEASON NOW FOR WAR ON PESTS Get Rid of Mite and Collect More Eggs. By CI F PARBT8H, BxtmiUn Poultry-man. Poultry-man. North Carolina State Collet. WNU Sonrlc. During the rush season, owners of farm flocks of poultry forget the birds and as a result mites and lice get to work with a resulting decrease de-crease In the number of eggs laid, and the effort of the chlckena to roost on a tree limb rather than la the poultry house. This Is the season when the annual an-nual war begins between mites on the one hand and eggs on the other. Poultry men act as spectators but pay a stiff admission price to witness wit-ness the battle. Neglect of the flocks at this time Invites eneYhles of good .poultry husbandry to getH)usy, and chief among these Is the well-known mite. The Insect Infests poultry houses, usually hiding away under the perches during the day but preying upon the birds at night, sucking their blood, lowering their vitality and thereby decreasing egg production. Here are some of the ways In which mites may be eradicated. First, "do not nail down the roost poles fast to the supports. If they are nailed, knock them loose. Then spray the roosts, and the whole house, if needed, with old burnt cylinder cyl-inder oil mixed with equal parts of kerosene. Second, paint or spray the roost with carbollneum, as recommended . in Farmers' Bulletin 801 of the United States Department of Agriculture. Agri-culture. Past history shows that mites have won every war In which they have engaged unless outside aid Is given, and now that every source of farm Income Is needed by the owner, time should be given to eradicate poultry parasites to the extent that the birds may give their highest production. Agricultural Hints Grain crops In Great Britain are np to average hay considerably be low. - Thin apples, on rigorous trees, to about six Inches apart. Remove all fruits affected with Insect or disease dis-ease Injury by spray burn, by ball, by limb rub, and with other blemishes. blem-ishes. ,- - Fire blight wss first reported In the United States as attacking apple ap-ple and pear trees In the Hudson valley. It Is thought that the dls-, case originated In Japan. Hatchery Best Method of Maintaining Flock There are three principal ways by which poultry flocks are .maintained from year to year. These are: the sitting hen, the farm Incubator, and the hatchery ; and the most satisfactory satisfac-tory source of chick supply Is the hatchery, because of the fact that the whole problem of brooding, rearing and production, being on a highly uniform basis, Is simplified. A farmer Is not really In the poultry poul-try business until he has at least 100 laying pullets. A flock of at least this size makes It possible for him, particularly if located near a large market, to sell his eggs direct te tteretaller gettlngjhe benefit of higher prices than are possible when eggs are sold through the usual trade channels. To ensure a pullet flock of 100" birds In the fall It Is necessary, te start with around 250 chicks. Where chicks are purchased from the breeder hatchery or the commercial hatchery any desired number can be started at a given time, and the problem of management, brooding, rearing and feeding Is simplified. What is more Important, the pullets pul-lets in the flock mature at the same ag&.and go into the laying house la a condition suited to high produc tion. . Poultry Hints Poultry and eggs possessing a standard type are meeting with Increased In-creased demands on the consuming market' N Prevention Is the safe way to raise turkeys. Keep the old birds away from the young. Hatch eggs In an Incubator. The demand for young pullets la Increasing every year and the trade in them can be made highly profit-table profit-table to the producer. If eggs are gathered three tlmea a day, there will be fewer broken and soiled ones, and the eggs win retain their fine quality longer. While there are records of pullete which laid eggs earlier, the time when they should begin to lay Is between the ages of five and six months. . a Resistance to disease can be in creased by breeding: from stronr un related birds and by the use of good feeds and good feeding methods. Provide roosts for the young growing birds. When these are' available they win not pile up at night and smother la the hot cor ners of the brooder bouses. There ts no profit hi feeding hens which do not lay, and this la the season when many decided to go on vacation. Learn to pick out the slackers and sell them for meat Providing plenty of shade for the yards Is one way of protecting the flock from the hot weather. If there Is not sufficient natural shade, artificial arti-ficial shelter can easily be provided with boards, canvas, or brush. the flins r- th. sun wilL" .-iwro r k-wTrf'S lacht Hnh - ... r-M Th race wai won hostess uiw - t - .
